Explore IM is a web-based portal designed to be an interactive resource for integrative East-West medicine. It is part of the UCLA Center for East-West Medicine's ongoing effort to facilitate the integration of biomedicine and Chinese medicine. One of the primary aims of this web portal is to provide you guidance in the cultivation of lifelong health.

We need your help in continuing the growth of the webportal into a comprehensive and user-friendly resource which will benefit the community domestically and internationally. Your support will allow us to provide open-source education on health, wellness, and the progress of integrative healthcare through the creation of even more innovative content and multimedia.

The UCLA Center for East-West Medicine would greatly appreciate a contribution of any size. It is of special value for our Center to receive unrestricted funds, which can be used for the most pressing expenses or program opportunities. Or you may wish to earmark your donation for a particular project that is dear to your heart. We will work with you to direct your gift to the area of your greatest concern and interest.

All gifts to the Center are tax deductible as provided by law. There are many ways to give. These include gifts of appreciated securities, matching gifts, pledges, real estate, bequests, charitable gift annuities, and qualified retirement plans. UCLA’s taxpayer identification numbers (TINs) are the employer identification numbers assigned by the Internal Revenue Service. UCLA's federal taxpayer ID number is 95-225-0801.
